Eva Longoria is Latina Magazine's October 2014 Cover Star!

Well-known producer and actress Eva Longoria emerges as a true humanitarian as she discusses her expanded role on the world stage and in American politics in the October 2014 issue of Latina. Longoria discusses her upcoming drama, Frontera, and her evolution from sultry Latina model to political activist in Latina’s exclusive October interview, which hits newsstands and Nook Newsstand on September 9, 2014.

Henry R. Muñoz III, Democratic Party finance committee chairman, on Longoria’s political future: “For Latinas, Eva is definitely symbolic of the power of the American dream. And she’s very young.

On her own career aspirations: “People go, ‘How does it feel to be so successful?’ and I always think, God, I haven’t even tapped into my potential as a human being. There’s so much more I want to do with my craft and with the industry I’m in. There’s so much more I can be and can do that I can’t wait until I evolve to the complete human being that I’m supposed to be."

On what she loves and hates about politics: “I think people go, ‘Oh, you like politics and politicians?’ And I say I don’t like politics and I don’t like politicians, but I love the political process. And I love how the most powerful person in the political process is the citizen.”

You have to study the history of immigration and patterns in order to understand why this is happening right now.
